Conditions, suggestions and limits for use
" specied in the EC

- Weight and maximum capacity of "PARMA E-BIKE" bike racks:
* Model 707 (17,00 kg.) ---> 2 bikes, max. capacity 60 kg.

Thecombinedweightof thebikerackandtheloadmustnever
exceed the permitted capacity. Keep the towing hook ball surface
clean from dirt and oil.
-The driver is always responsible for the load he is transporting and
consequently he is also responsible for checking the fastenings both
before starting the trip and at regular intervals during the trip.
- Check the car manual for the specications concerning the maximum
permissible rear axle weight.
-Verify compliance with the value D(maximum load bearing capacity)
of the towball specied by the car or towball manufacturer; the value
D for the towball must be at least (760 Kg) 7.6kN; older towballs
often only specify the permissible load on the towball GAand the
total permissible load of the towing vehicle GKrather than value D; in
this case the value Dcan be calculated using the values specied in
the vehicle maintenance or registration booklet:
- Remove from the transported bikeschildren's seats, transport
baskets, rain covers or other elements that could get lost or increase
the air resistance.
- Do not carry more bikes than the number indicated for a specic
model.
- Bike parts, such as for example the handlebars or pedals, must not be
left in the normal position of use; they must be folded to avoid
dangerous projections.
